Her Brother’s Girlfriend Announced In Front Of Their Whole Family That She Had Googled How Much They Spent On Presents This Year, So She Confronted Her For Being A Gold Digger
This woman has a brother named James, who started dating a girl named Lindsay 7 months ago.
Her brother invited Lindsay to come to spend Christmas with them, which she hosted this year, and prior to Christmas, she had only met Lindsay one time and thought she was nice.
Her brother and Lindsay arrived at her house on Christmas Eve, slept over, and then left on Christmas Day.
Her previous opinion of Lindsay changed, however, as soon as she stepped through her front door.
“When they arrived, Lindsay walked in and complimented my decorations (large tree in the foyer) and asked how much they cost,” she explained.
“I was a bit surprised by the question, but I just said, “more than I’d like,” and moved on. Throughout the evening, she asked several questions centered around money.”
Lindsay questioned her husband about how much money he had to put down for their house. Lindsay then grilled her stepdad on the salary he made at his last job.
Lindsay then asked her how much the watch she was wearing had cost. Lindsay didn’t stop there, though; she took it upon herself to Google a piece of art she had in her house to check how much that had cost her.
When Lindsay found out the price of the piece of art, she literally said out loud that it was “crazy” for her and her husband to have dropped that much money on it.

Lindsay’s comment about the price of the piece of art really made her uneasy. Finally, her stepdad spoke to her brother James in private and wondered if Lindsay had some kind of problem with them.
James excused Lindsay’s behavior as “normal” before mentioning that he would talk to her about her money comments.
Christmas morning arrived, and everyone sat down to open their presents. She noticed Lindsay didn’t say anything negative about their gifts, so she suspected that James had asked her to tone it down.
When it came time for them all to gather to eat, she and her family chatted about some plans they wanted to make in January, and that’s when Lindsay started in with her comments.
At the top of her voice, Lindsay announced that she didn’t understand how they could even afford to make any plans in January because she had totaled up the money they all spent on Christmas presents.
Lindsay blurted out the amount too, and everyone in her family stopped speaking. She was horrified that Lindsay would even say something like that to everyone at the table.
“I looked at Lindsay and said, “you are the world’s most diligent gold digger. Seriously, would you like to be the family accountant since you’re already tracking expenses?”
“Lindsay stuttered out an apology and tried to explain, but my stepdad just changed the conversation, and we moved on. She was mercifully quiet for the rest of dinner. After they left, my brother messaged me, saying I’d really upset Lindsay and was out of line with what I said.”
“I argued that he had said he’d talk to her and he clearly didn’t, not that someone should have needed guidance to know how crass her comments were. He is saying I owe both of them an apology, but I think Lindsay’s behavior was disgraceful.”
Her mom and dad agree that Lindsay’s behavior was so rude, but they wished she had privately said something about it instead of calling Lindsay out at the table in front of their whole family.
She’s left wondering if it was wrong of her to confront Lindsay for being a gold digger after all of her comments.
